Nothing Is Simple in Remote Alaska! Moving Logs by Boat

Moving firewood in remote Alaska isn't always as simple as loading up a truck! We were back in Port Protection on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska last month, helping move some large logs from the beach in front of Liz's house in Back Bay over to Veronica's beach, where they'll be used for firewood. The logs were the product of Scott's hazard tree removal. Sounds simple...... Getting those heavy logs off the beach proves to be quite a challenge! Between shallow water, rocks, stubborn logs, and maneuvering the boat with towlines, it takes a little patience and plenty of teamwork. But that's life in remote Alaska. You work with the resources available, figure things out as you go, and help your neighbors when you can. Come along as we wrestle these logs off Liz's beach and deliver them to Veronica's for firewood! Thanks for watching and following our adventures aboard Alaskan Gypsy, our 80-foot steel schooner, as we explore Southeast Alaska and share the people, places, and projects that make life here so interesting. #alaska #portprotection #alaskangypsylife #princeofwalesisland #remoteliving
